[edit] Mexican crime

• Delete, article is a content fork of which any relevant information could be placed in the Mexico article. Though it has some sources, it has alot of aspects of WP:OR. Jersey Devil 23:18, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
• Change to Keep and Rename yeah, I could see how this article would be viable as Crime in Mexico with the POV already removed and OR taken out.--Jersey Devil 06:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Keep and rename Changing my vote since there now are several people working to develop the article. The original was unsourced and POV but if the article is overhauled, it could be potentially an informative one. And, definitely rename the article title. --Polaron | Talk 16:53, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep/merge Article as it stands now could be merged with Mexico article but it could be worth keeping it as a separate article if it were significantly expanded. Strong keep/Rename I've expanded the article to where there is now substantial content and therefore it is worth keeping. Original text in the Mexico article did seem on the POV/OR side but we have sourced it and made it more NPOV. I do support the proposal to rename the article to "Crime in Mexico" which sounds more professional and less like a slam on Mexico.

  • Keep per rewrite and rename to Crime in Mexico. -- Rune Welsh | ταλκ 12:42, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
• Rename to Crime in Mexico. This name is, how can I put it, dodgy. Vizjim 08:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and rename per Vizjim. There is enormous potential for a good article and way too much information to be merged into Mexico. Mexico is a large article and anything more than a paragraph long needs to be broken off. If you look at articles for other large countries, for example, Canada, the common format is to break away subtopics into their own articles. Aguerriero (talk) 15:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. Sorry, but I just think this topic is way too important. I am going to start working on this article immediately to clean up, remove any WP:OR and add citations. I intend to merge Mexican Crime Rates into it as well. I am not clear on procedures for merging or moving articles that are up for AfD - if anyone knows, please respond or message me on my Talk page.

• Strong Keep and Rename to Crime in Mexico. This article could use some statistics, talk about crime in particular parts of Mexico [1], trends and patterns. Organized crime [2] would also be worth discussing in the article. It has potential and shouldn't be deleted. --Aude (talk | contribs) 20:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and rename. Useful article. Andrew_pmk | Talk 04:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and rename to Law enforcement in Mexico.--Rockero 04:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
